Target Audience

This program is intended for oncologists, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals who care for patients with HCC.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Explore the current status of predictive biomarkers for identification and selection of patients for novel therapies and emerging molecular/immunologic classifications that could inform future biomarker-enriched clinical trial design, enabling precision oncology care in HCC
  • Select optimal, individualized locoregional treatment for patients with HCC based on recent advances and evolving best practices to maximize clinical outcomes
  • Review recent therapeutic advances and FDA approvals of novel systemic treatments (including targeted and immunotherapeutic agents) for patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory advanced HCC and integrate this information into clinical practice
  • Plan therapeutic strategies that optimize the selection/sequence of therapies to provide the best outcome for patients with HCC in the first-line setting and for patients with advanced HCC and treatment for patients with HCC that has progressed on or after 1 or multiple lines of therapy, taking into consideration the available clinical evidence, known agent toxicity/tolerability profiles, expert recommendations, and patient preferences
  • Assess the safety profiles of targeted therapies and checkpoint inhibitors used in the management of HCC
  • Counsel patients to help them understand their treatment options and to be proactive, knowledgeable learners in their care
